Watches - another OCD problem
-
Hodinkee have just produced a run of 25 Zenith El Primero chronographs for their shop. Unfortunately, they're already sold out.
It's a nice looking watch, though the write-up is a bit gushing. In particular, I like the fact that they bothered to get it COSC certified. I don't think that many Zeniths are chronometers.

Was that the Panerai you had tested the other day? I saw the rate numbers, but I'm not sufficiently savvy to interpret them.
I do like the fact that the Panerais hide the tourbillion on the back of the movement. They seem to exist to impress fellow watch nerds as much as anything, so the subtlety (an adjective that rarely applies to that brand :)) appeals.
The new Heuer, Omega (I think), and Chopard tourbillions are all COSC rated from memory, and the Jaeger gyrotourbillions tend to win chronometry competitions, so they can be accurate.
I'm not a big fan of the complication, but would probably get one if I had that chance. Hey, I'm not internally consistent!

Yes it was the Panerai I tested. I wear it most of the time. That one is very accurate, about 3 seconds a day when you wear it. The Richard Mille Tourbillion is also very accurate.

I agree with this. Especially the bolded parts…
